Hearts/Valentines- Creative Belli Challenge #136

I have avoided all of the 'Zen' opportunities that I have had- I am not sure why...but added Zen stamping touches to the scarf and to the gloves. I love that the scarf has hearts in it.... My husband is going to Breckenridge skiing and will be returning home right when we will be celebrating Valentine's Day- so the image is perfect for the occasion.
I colored the image with Copics and 'texturized' his jacket. I added Faux Flower soft to her muff. TIP: You can use any scraps of styrofoam you have to create your own Flower soft. HERE is my picture tutorial on how to make Faux Flower soft- color of your choice. The background of the hearts is done using another technique called Triple dimension (a technique from 2/06). For the background I used Distress Inks. All of the images are from Rogue Redhead Designs Snow Hugs plate.
I am a lover of Pinks, but I think this card is masculine enough to give to my husband.

The Spirit of the Belli Challenge is to use your OLD and FORGOTTEN embellishments. I used Faux Flower soft that I made ages ago and decided it was time to use it up!

Oh- one more thing- my little nephew Brian-now 5- made it through Chemo and Radiation- and Make a Wish sent him to Disney prior to Christmas. The family is active in the Dragonfly organization in the Cincinnati area for Children with cancer- he is on a billboard that Dragonfly just put up- I had to share- how cool is that!

Lovely card! Thanks for sharing with us at TTT with our valentines challenge, lovely that your nephew has made it to a bill board! I hope to see you again at the TTT blog, you can enter unto three cards and three tips! x
